As a graphic designer and avid traveler, I have been in love with the woven beauties of the Orient for some time now. These pieces of art are a visual and colorful wonder, but what makes them so special are the secrets they hold. Each rug has a story to tell and therefore a very special identity. Step by step I got to know the world of carpets and after extensive travels to Turkey, Morocco and Georgia I decided to present my own collection. I have a preference for "freely" designed pieces in which the weaver creatively incorporates her/his own ideas. 

These textiles were mostly created for personal use, with the artisan weaving a tiny part of her/his soul into each one. Some may be well worn and seemingly fragile, but all have still retained their vibrancy and vitality to this day. 

Owning a non-commercial rug is something very special. These pieces of art are only ever ours for the moment. They usually have a long history and will continue to exist and travel the world long after us. 

Today these beautiful, highly treasured rugs and their perfect imperfections bring warmth and style to every home.
